Geisha Bat

I did this ages ago. I love bats, mangoes, inaccurate representations of mango trees and to some degree the anthropomorphization of animals...or rather I used to until furries ruined everything!

Certain things explained-

The skull is

Death is an acceptable excuse for an absence
Indifference much harder to bear
Well used as I am to the perpetual distance
For the dead, one can compose a prayer

For the dead, one can breathe, and grieve, remain and endure
And now breathing I do much the same
Keep obserdevotions, prepare for the worst, unsure
And wait, as pawns do, movements in game
